"Legends car" or "car" are no longer the proper descriptive adjectives. o__O

Yeah. Being that I raced legends for a couple of years and seeing this wreck literally blows my mind. I've never seen a legends car look as destroyed as this car. And it is a miracle that the driver walked away. I can only imagine what it must've been like sitting in that car and taking the kind of impact it did.

that and the cost of keeping the wooden boards in good shape was considerable. I believe Arthur Chevrolet died in a crash on such a track.

For those that didn't get to see it, this is the K&N Pro Series East's visit to Columbus Motor Speedway last year...

I like how Rick Allen says there's no precipitation expected. Ha! No precipitation, my a**. It started raining pretty good at the very end of the race, about 20 laps left, yet they managed to get through it.

This race is back on the schedule for the 2012 season. Yay! For 22 bucks, you can't go wrong.

Every commercial I hear says different odds. 1 in 110 is the most common I've heard recently...however, autism diagnoses are going up; IMO not all "autistic" kids are autistic so I'm inclined to believe the 1 in 166 more

I really hate to deviate from the topic some more, but autism is a fact of life. It's not the most pleasant fact about life, but it's not something that should really be that depressing. People have autism, and those people may need a bit of extra help sometimes. Maybe I'm biased because both myself and my girlfriend have Asperger's, and I know a few other people with autism, but one thing that I find depressing about autism is some of the awful Autism Awareness paintjobs in NASCAR.

It'd be neat if there was an autism awareness car designed by someone with autism. Some people with autism can communicate very well through the use of images.

One of the top advertising consultants in America is a former ... I think psychologist that specialized with autistic children, or something that involved working with autistic people, and he used what he knew there to sell products to people using subliminal imagery (like SUVs being big). He's French, I know that much. Can't remember his name off the top of my head though.

Idk how many of you guys watch Moto-X but I just found out Chad Reed isn't going to be racing for the rest of the season due to breaking 2 ribs, spinous T6, torn ACL, and a fractured fibia and tibia. The impact wasn't pretty.
